Important Notices
IMPORTANT NOTICES
Each Issuer may issue Securities on the terms set out in this Base Prospectus and in the relevant Final
Terms (or, in the case of Exempt Securities, the relevant Pricing Supplement).
Where the Issuer is CS, the relevant Final Terms (or, in the case of Exempt Securities, the relevant
Pricing Supplement) will specify whether CS is issuing the Securities through its London Branch, its
Nassau Branch or its Singapore Branch. Investors should be aware that certain tax and regulatory
consequences may follow from issuing Securities through a particular branch, including whether
payments on the Securities are subject to withholding tax (see the section headed "Taxation" below). A
branch located in a particular jurisdiction will also be subject to certain regulatory requirements and
rules, breach of which may result in regulatory sanction and, possibly, investor claims. Investors should
be aware that a branch is not a subsidiary and does not comprise a separate legal entity and that, in
respect of any Securities issued by CS, obligations under such Securities are those of CS only, and
investors' claims under such Securities are against CS only, notwithstanding the branch through which it
will have issued such Securities.
Credit Suisse AG, Singapore Branch is licensed as a wholesale bank under the Banking Act, Chapter 19
of Singapore and is subject to restrictions on the acceptance of deposits in Singapore dollars. The
Securities do not constitute or evidence a debt repayable by Credit Suisse AG, Singapore Branch on
demand to the Securityholders and the value of the Securities, if sold on the secondary market, is
subject to market conditions prevailing at the time of the sale. Please refer to the section headed "Terms
and Conditions of the Securities" together with the relevant Final Terms (or, in the case of Exempt
Securities, the relevant Pricing Supplement) for the terms and conditions under which the
Securityholders may recover amounts payable or deliverable to them on the Securities from the Issuer.
The final terms relevant to an issue of Securities will be set out in a final terms document (the "Final
Terms") (or, in the case of Exempt Securities, a pricing supplement document (the "Pricing
Supplement"). The relevant Final Terms shall not replace or modify the "General Terms and
Conditions", the "Product Conditions" or the "Asset Terms". The relevant Final Terms will be provided to
investors and, where so required under the Prospectus Directive, filed with the CSSF and any other
relevant Member State and made available, free of charge, to the public at the registered office of the
Issuer and at the offices of the relevant Distributors and Paying Agents.
In the case of Exempt Securities, the relevant Pricing Supplement may replace or modify any of the
"General Terms and Conditions", the "Product Conditions" and the "Asset Terms" to the extent so
specified or to the extent inconsistent with the same. The applicable Pricing Supplement will only be
obtainable by a Securityholder holding one or more Exempt Securities and such Securityholder must
produce evidence satisfactory to the Issuer and the relevant Distributors and Paying Agents as to its
holding of such Exempt Securities and identity.
No Investment Advice
Prospective investors should have regard to the factors described under the section headed "Risk
Factors" in this Base Prospectus. The relevant Issuer is acting solely in the capacity of an arm's length
contractual counterparty and not as an investor's financial adviser or fiduciary in any transaction. The
purchase of Securities involves substantial risks and an investment in Securities is only suitable for
investors who (either alone or in conjunction with an appropriate financial adviser) fully evaluate the
risks and merits of such an investment in the Securities and who have sufficient resources to be able to
bear any losses that may result therefrom. Therefore, before making an investment decision,
prospective investors of Securities should ensure that they understand the nature of the Securities and
the extent of their exposure to risks and consider carefully, in the light of their own financial
circumstances, financial condition and investment objectives, all the information set forth in this Base
Prospectus and any documents incorporated by reference herein. This Base Prospectus cannot
disclose whether the Securities are a suitable investment in relation to any investor's particular
circumstances; therefore investors should consult their own financial, tax, legal or other advisers if they
consider it appropriate to do so and carefully review and consider such an investment decision in the
light of the information set forth in this Base Prospectus.
CREST Depository Interests
The Issuers give notice that investors may hold indirect interests in certain Securities through CREST
through the issuance of dematerialised depository interests ("CDIs"). CDIs are independent securities
(distinct from the Securities issued by the relevant Issuer) constituted under English law and transferred
through CREST and will be issued by CREST Depository Limited or any successor thereto pursuant to
the global deed poll dated 25 June 2001 (as subsequently modified, supplemented and/or restated).
Please refer to the section headed "Clearing Arrangements" for more information.

Important Notices
No other person is authorised to give information on the Securities
In connection with the issue and sale of the Securities, no person is authorised by the Issuers to give
any information or to make any representation not contained in this Base Prospectus and/or the relevant
Final Terms (or, in the case of Exempt Securities, the relevant Pricing Supplement), and the Issuers do
not accept responsibility for any information or representation so given that is not contained within the
Base Prospectus and the relevant Final Terms (or, in the case of Exempt Securities, the relevant Pricing
Supplement).
The distribution of this Base Prospectus is restricted
The distribution of this Base Prospectus and the offering or sale of the Securities in certain jurisdictions
may be restricted by law. Persons into whose possession this document comes are required by the
relevant Issuer to inform themselves about, and to observe, such restrictions. For a description of
certain restrictions on offers or sales of the Securities and the distribution of this document and other
offering materials relating to the Securities, please refer to the section headed "Selling Restrictions".
United States restrictions
The Securities have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933 (the
"Securities Act") and may not be offered or sold within the United States or to, or for the account or
benefit of, U.S. persons except in certain transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. A further description of the restrictions on offers and
sales of the Securities in the United States or to U.S. persons is set out under "Selling Restrictions" in
the Base Prospectus.
Ratings
The credit ratings of CS and CSi referred to in this Base Prospectus have been issued, for the purposes
of Regulation (EC) No 1060/2009, as amended (the "CRA Regulation"), by Standard & Poor's Credit
Market Services France SAS ("Standard & Poor's"), Fitch Ratings Ltd. ("Fitch") and Moody's Investors
Service, Inc. ("Moody's Inc."). Standard & Poor's and Fitch are both established in the EU and have
been registered in accordance with the CRA Regulation, as set out in the list of registered credit rating
agencies published on the website of the European Securities and Markets Authority ("ESMA"). Moody's
Inc. is not established in the EU and has not applied for registration under the CRA Regulation. In
general, and subject to certain exceptions (including the exception outlined below), European regulated
investors are restricted from using a credit rating for regulatory purposes if such a credit rating is not
issued by a credit rating agency established in the European Union and registered under the CRA
Regulation.
Subject to the fulfilment of the conditions set out in Article 4(3) of the CRA Regulation, a credit rating
agency established in the European Union and registered in accordance with the CRA Regulation (an
"EU CRA") may endorse (for regulatory purposes in the European Union) credit ratings issued outside
the European Union where (a) the credit rating activities resulting in the issuing of the credit rating are
undertaken in whole or in part by a credit rating agency or credit rating agencies belonging to the same
group (a "non-EU CRA"), and (b) the EU CRA has verified and is able to demonstrate on an ongoing
basis to ESMA that the conduct of the credit rating activities by the non-EU CRA resulting in the issuing
of the credit rating to be endorsed fulfils requirements which are "at least as stringent as" the
requirements of the CRA Regulation. On 15 March 2012, ESMA announced that it considers the
regulatory framework for credit rating agencies in the United States to be "as stringent as" the
requirements of the CRA Regulation. Moody's Investors Service Limited (which has been registered
under the CRA Regulation and appears on the list of registered credit rating agencies on ESMA's
website ­ http://www.esma.europa.eu/page/List-registered-and-certified-CRAs) currently endorses credit
ratings issued by Moody's Inc. for regulatory purposes in the European Union. ESMA's website and its
content do not form part of this Base Prospectus. There can be no assurance that Moody's Investors
Service Limited will continue to endorse credit ratings issued by Moody's Inc.
CS has been issued a senior unsecured long-term debt rating of "A (Stable Outlook)" by Standard &
Poor's, a senior long-term debt rating of "A (Stable Outlook)" by Fitch and a senior long-term debt rating
of "A1 (Stable Outlook)" by Moody's Inc. CSi has been assigned senior unsecured long-term debt
ratings of "A (Stable Outlook)" by Standard & Poor's, "A (Stable Outlook)" by Fitch and "A1 (Stable
Outlook)" by Moody's Inc.
Explanation of ratings as of the date of this document:
"A (Stable Outlook)" by Standard's & Poor's: An obligor rated "A" has strong capacity to meet its
financial commitments but is somewhat more susceptible to the adverse effects of changes in
7


Important Notices
circumstances and economic conditions than obligors in higher-rated categories. The rating outlook
assesses the potential direction of a long-term credit rating over the intermediate term (typically six
months to two years), and a stable outlook means that a rating is not likely to change.
"A (Stable Outlook)" by Fitch: An "A" rating denotes expectations of low default risk. The capacity for
payment of financial commitments is considered strong. This capacity may, nevertheless, be more
vulnerable to adverse business or economic conditions than is the case for higher ratings. The rating
outlook indicates the direction a rating is likely to move over a one- to two-year period.
"A1 (Stable Outlook)" by Moody's Inc.: Obligations rated "A" are judged to be upper-medium grade and
are subject to low credit risk; the modifier "1" indicates that the obligation ranks in the higher end of its
generic rating category. A stable outlook indicates a low likelihood of a rating change over the medium
term.
ISDA Definitions
Where any interest and/or coupon amount and/or other amount payable under the Securities is
calculated by reference to an ISDA Rate, investors should consult the relevant Issuer if they require an
explanation of such ISDA Rate.
